Very easy to do business with. Will definitely be recommending you to people who want a hitches or trailer accessories.1775327

Went to the dealership and they wanted $800 to activate the tow lights and another $400 for the trailer hitch receiver installed, for a grand total of $1,200! Purchased the Curt Trailer Hitch receiver for less than $120. Took half an hour to install the receiver and another half hour for the wiring harness. Saved almost $1,000 off the dealership price! A friend recommended etrailer and I am so glad he did!953242

Very difficult to install. Due to location of the protective plate around the fuel tank. I have a 2015 Jeep grand Cherokee limited with the eco diesel. I had to bend the protective “skid plate” with a sledge hammer to get it to fit. Also it is so tight to get the passenger side front bolt in. After using your finger toss to get the bolt lined up blind. With your finger tips you could rotate wrench 2” then flip it over and rotate another 2” all the way until it was tight. I am very mechanically inclined and this to 5 hours to install. Not necessarily the tire brackets fault as much as it is Jeeps fault for not mounting the fuel tank on center.1695458

Ordered this for my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Installation was simple. Per the instructional video I removed the 4 bolts from the rear frame area of the Jeep, laid out some cardboard to protect the coating on the hitch and my back from the concrete. Lifted into place and secured the bolts. I did this myself, though a second set of hands would have been nice for the initial bolt placement. I towed a small trailer with Kayaks twice last week and all is good! Though it's not integrated into the bumper like the factory hitch, it still looks good and is a lot less expensive. Don't forget the trailer wiring like I did.830781

Great - no issues - looks good and tows well.

I needed a trailer hitch for my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Curt trailer hitch receiver is a quality product and looks great. It’s a really good fit underneath the rear bumper. The installation literally took me less than 20 minutes.

I highly recommend this trailer hitch reveiver for easy installation and a good fit. 463921

The Curt trailer hitch receiver was an outstanding purchase and a great fit for my Grand Cherokee.

Very good price, arrived on time, and seems to be very sturdy. Installation was fairly easily. The R/T model has a plastic heat shield between the exhaust and spare tire that has to be removed to get the hitch in place. To reinstall the shield notches have to be cut out on ends where it meets the hitch mounts to get it back in place. It's held in place by six 10mm nuts and come out and back in easily enough once the notches are cut. With the hitch in place it is a very tight fit getting the spare back in place - I had to guide it and nudge it some while my son worked the winch until it cleared the hitch. 403186

After a year it is working great. The paint is holding up well and still looks brand new.

I found etrailer on YouTube and watched a video showing, explaining and installing 3 different types of tow hitches for my Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Customer service was excellent, shipping was quick and cost of the hitch was about 100$ less than what the local business was trying to sell me. Thank you etrailer!1692145

Wow, just WOW! I've never seen or experienced such great customer service while ordering ANYTHING! Your website made selecting,ordering, and paying for my hitch a breeze. I figured someone would get my order and fulfill it Monday as I ordered it on Sunday. Never thought you guys would get it going so fast and on a Sunday to boot. Thank you.

I've attached some pic's of the order status/tracking with timing to show how awesome my experience was.

I watched your installation video's and was able to complete the install in about 15 minutes. As I have a single exhaust Jeep, I took a picture of the clearance. Pictures also show a before and after. Looks factory. I will be using it mostly for a Thule bike rack and this Curt hitch is spot on.

And the price of the product PLUS free shipping (arrived when stated) was fantastic.



Thanks again to all of you. Please pass on our gratitude for a job WELL DONE!1411363

I did not remove the spare tire to install the hitch on my 2012 Durango although that made it difficult to get the wrench in position. The original bolts were painted and really tough to remove. I called a local mechanic and asked for advice. He suggested cutting a piece of pipe and inserting my wrench handle in that to extend the effective length of the wrench. The additional torque which that idea provided was enough to smoothly loosen the bolts. No hammering, torch, or paint thinner were needed. The hitch was easy to install after that.148736

I am still using it with no issues. thanks.

I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This hitch just bolted in. It really helps to have a second set of hand only to help hold the hitch in place. Install is 10 minutes after you find your torque wrench. Great instructions.

Even better support from eTrailer.com

How difficult was the wiring? Did ur jeep already have the wiring and you simply need to plug it in?

Patrick B.

At this time, there are no aftermarket trailer wiring solutions available for the 2014 Grand Cherokee. Your best source would be heading back to the dealership. I'm not sure if they have something in development or if it's not going to be possible to do an aftermarket harness on the 2014. The Grand Cherokee electrical system has become increasingly complex in the last few years and has brought some challenges with trailer wiring systems. If you don't have a 2014, let me know what year you do have, and I can help you find a solution.

The hitch has been installed for a year and looks great and works great. The jeep had a factory wiring harness connector but not the factory plug. I purchased the plug and mounted it. The Dealer had to activate the plug and they did that at no charge. I bought the plug from the dealer.

Bryan- can you post a couple pics of what the install looks like from the back of your jeep? Trying to see how tight it fits to the bumper.

I will see what I can do to get the additional pictures of the rear mounting

What sub model Jeep Cherokee do you have? I have a Summit and I am hesitant about ordering this hitch.

I have confirmed with my contact at Curt and this hitch fits all of the: 2012-2014 Jeep Cherokees models excluding the SRT-8 Models, all the 2014 Jeep Cherokee models including the SRT-8 Models, except the 2014 SRT-8 Diesel Models.

Did you have to get the deal to program the computer so the trailer lights would work?

Haven’t installed the product yet, but the purchase process and prompt delivery was excellent. Their videos on installation are excellent.1752448

This hitch installed like a dream. Literally took 15 minutes. I did it myself. The video was super helpful and the instructions were straight forward. I love that this hitch doesn't stick out beyond the bumper. I'm very pleased with this product!! 134102

Hi...its great. No issues whatsoever! Love it.

This was the easiest trailer hitch install! Built strong and all around a great experience. I’m using it to pull a 17 ft travel trailer. Will definitely be ordering from etrailer for any of my future towing needs. 785757

After first year, and multiple trips towing our travel trailer to the eastern shore and to the mtns of NC, the hitch receiver has exceeded my expectations. This was the first curt receiver I’ve ever purchased, so in the beginning, I had my concerns being a new product to me. 1 year later, I will purchase Curt products from etrailer from now on. If my recommendation helps anyone with concerns, these receivers are extremely well built and strong. My opinion, best on the market for your hard earned money! And did I mention the install? So simple, had it installed, and torqued to correct spec in half an hour. Literally anyone can do it. Get your hands a little dirty and save some money $$$!

My fiancé installed the hitch at home. 4 bolts and the job was done. No lift necessary. I’ve already got my bike rack attached. Love it!792189

Fantastic! Solid as a rock.

Very well made hitch. I was also pleased with the delivery process and customer service provided. I use it primarily for our mountain bike rack and it works great. I haven’t added the wiring harness package as yet as I have a Suburban with that ability that I use when pulling our hauling trailer.1027094

This hitch was a life saver. I ride and travel with my bicycles a lot - locally and nationally. Putting a bike and ride inside the MINI is doable but not ideal. This hitch is stealth, doesn't protrude bast my exhaust tips and works perfectly. Installation was a bit expensive but well worth it.1308123

Successfully installed on 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Installed by myself in about 20 min total, the included instructions are sufficient. An extra set of hands would be helpful, but the M14 bolts are long enough that I could hold up the hitch myself and get them started...a little awkward but doable. Installation summary: remove all four M14 bolts with 21mm socket, hold up the hitch to the holes to see if any caulk is in the way (I had to trim caulk near rear bolts on both sides to get hitch to line up properly), raise the hitch to align holes and insert/hand tighten the bolts, tighten with ratchet evenly all around to make sure everything lined up properly, tighten to proper torque.... and you’re done. There is a little more space between hitch and bumper than I anticipated (half inch or so), but now that I look more closely at all the other pictures on the website, mine looks same as all the others. Otherwise, price seemed good for the hitch, fast shipping, feels like solid quality, a couple of dings/scratches on the hitch out of the box, but overall it looked good and nothing I’m really worried about. Haven’t used the hitch yet. I don’t anticipate any issues, but will report back if anything else to add in future.936019

Outstanding!!!
First, Jeep wanted close to $700.00 to install their factory hitch. etrailer hitch cost me way less, no charge for shipping. It took me 5 minutes to unscrew the 4 bolts on the 2015 Jeep GC. I employed a friend to help me installed the hitch. It took us 5 minutes. It helps to have someone hold up one side of the hitch while attaching to frame. I highly recommend this product. It looks factory installed. Fits perfect under the bumper. Thank you382528

Very disappointed in your products with your company. The first hitch i ordered was damaged so bad out of the box so bad i had to return it and am STILL waiting for my refund! The second one came and seemed acceptable. I installed it and two days later its chipped and rusting in a visible area of the hitch. I was told on the phone "The hitch arrive to us from the factory stacked on top of on another so there going to be scratched and paint chipped". That response in not an excuse to me. That to me is a gap in QC (quality control). If majority of product are being damaged in transit from the factory. Demand that the producer get a better protected, quality product delivered to your company and in turn to the customer. 427799

This was perfect for my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X! The install took me about 10 minutes (or less). The whole thing was painless and easy. Just take out 4 bolts, hold the trailer hitch in place and put the bolts back in. The hitch sits nice and tight to my bumper and is barely noticeable. Very happy with everything. As others have said the only thing you will need (for a jeep grand cherokee) is a 21mm socket wrench and an extra pair of hands to help hold it in place while you put the bolts back in. 778358

Please listen; 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel owners, products fit you vehicle correct! when received it ; UPS had damaged the item and was a little bent was able to install it though , the limited models with spare tire under is a little tight although you can wrench with 13/16" shorties will also work. this is on the passenger side the wiring harness is very tight to hook up. In the end very satisfied with this product793832

Easy to order, fast delivery, easy to install. The only knock I have is with the way items are packaged and shipped. Second time I've ordered in the past few years and the box was damaged from shipping again. Luckily the hitch was not damaged so all is good. The packers are still trying to pack 5 pounds of potatoes into a 3 pound sack.1636919

This hitch fit perfectly on my 2017 Grand Cherokee and I installed it on my own in 20 min. I would recommend having a second set of hands to make it easier but it was not a problem. The shipping was fast it arrived 1 day earlier than expected. I would definitely recoment this hitch and most of all etrailer. 359631
